Description
Alexis Georgopoulos aka Arp has always approached recordings with a conceptual bent. Imbued with an expansive sense of music history, having written for i-D, V, ANP Quarterly, BOMB, Fader, and Vice " he has a penchant for doing the unexpected and refusing to take part in the fleeting pop trends of the given day in favor of pursuing a more adventurous trajectory.
As the title infers, there is a ''cosmic'' quality to Pulsars e Quasars " in a sense, it draws a link to his earlier Cosmic Synth work, albeit reclaiming and redefining it in a Pop songwriting context. Opener "Suns" sets the tone. And it glows. A bracing current of electricity, it''s a slate"cleaner, an improvised transmission capturing the group sound of this temporary ensemble in motion. "Pulsars e Quasars", the title"track and mini"album''s first single, is a lysergic rush, a kaleidoscopic bite of psychedelic Anglophile pop. Settling into his singing voice, his voice finds a comfortable spot between the narcotic resplendence of George Harrison and the delicacy of Broadcast''s Trish Keenan. The music, meanwhile, opens swathed in phased guitars before building into a prismatic, melodic fuzzed out mass. A tune that might just become a make-out classic. "Chromatiques II (Extended Mix), mixed in collaboration with Jefre Cantu"Ledesma bleaches "Pulsars" into a haze that you might want to go on forever.
